Abstract
«Ha S. S. tà risoluto di mandare Nuntij straordinarij alla corte Cesarea mons. Gasparo Mattei, mons. Facchinetti a codesta, mons. Scotti a quella di Francia». With this communication, in February 1639 Cardinal Barberini announces to Lorenzo Campeggi, nuncio in Madrid, the upcoming arrival in Spain of the monsignor bolognese, with the task of negotiating the formation of an anti-Turkish league among the Catholic powers. Thus begins the mission of the young diplomat who will lead him after the death of Campggi to assume the permanent nunciature and negotiate with the Spanish court the so-called "Concordia Facchinetti", the first concordat agreement between the Apostolic See and the Crown of Spain and an intermediate stage towards the concordatary season of the eighteenth century. Great-grandson of Innocent IX and belonging to the circle of clients of cardinal Francesco Barberini, the Facchinetti, initially welcomed with skepticism by the court of Philip IV conquers in short, thanks to his political-the Spanish officials, maintaining close relations with the Spanish court even after his mission in Madrid. The aim of this intervention is to reconstruct, through the documentation of public and private archives and from the family papers kept at the Doria-Pamphilj Archive, the figure of the monsignor bolognese who, despite the controversies raised by the signing of the Concordia, He was appointed cardinal and continued his career in the curia pontifics until taking up, a few years after his death, the post of vice chancellor of the Roman Church.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
